When is enough ENOUGH???

I sold 6 journals in January, zero in February, but 3 so far this month (March).  I have a wide range of prices for my journals, from about $16.00 to $32.00, depending on the journal and the amount of work (hours) I put into each one.

I like to give my potential buyers a variety of styles and prices.

I have quite a few favorite journal makers myself.  These are gals that have inspired me and who have given me tips, ideas, suggestions, and styles. 

I've purchased over a dozen journals myself so that I could look at them and feel them and see how they were made.  They are all beautiful and gorgeous.

HOWEVER...

I've noticed that their prices have gone WAY UP!   One gal went from $65 a journal to now $150!  YIKES!   $150 for a journal?  Others are now up to $200!!!!

Now, I'm not saying that they don't deserve that kind of money.  I'm sure they do.  BUT...they have priced themselves out of what I CAN AFFORD.

YIKES!

I guess I'll just have to make my own from now on...Here are a few photos of my recent journals.   These are available in my ETSY shop:   https://www.etsy.com/shop/DesertsandBeyond?ref=pr_shop_more
